Media Planning
Media planning entails sourcing and selecting optimal media platforms for a client's brand or product to use. The goal of media planning is to determine the best combination of media to achieve the clients objectives. In the process of planning, the media planner needs to answer questions such as: * How many of the audience can be reached through the various media? * On which media (and ad vehicles) should the ads be placed? * How frequently should the ads be placed? * How much money should be spent on each medium? Choosing which media or type of advertising to use can be challenging for small firms with limited budgets and know-how. Large-market television and newspapers are often too expensive for a company that services only a small area (although local newspapers can be used). Magazines, unless local, usually cover too much territory to be cost-efficient for a small firm, although some national publications offer regional or city editions. Since the advent of social media, s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
